British Basketball T16 National Coaching Curriculum

On March 3rd 2011, British Basketball launched a new national coaching curriculum called “Areas of Emphasis”.

A 161 page document, the Areas of Emphasis outlines the curriculum and related strategies as a guide for what coaches should be focusing on to improve the standard of basketball across the home nations. Launched at the UK Sport Offices, the Areas of Emphasis is part of the T16 programme, which focuses on GB qualifying in it’s own right for the 2016 Olympics.

The official Areas of Emphasis document is yet to be released, with British Basketball intending to run a series of clinics at regional level where it can be rolled out to coaches and implemented effectively.

Please find below a number of supporting documents:
